No one makes a hanger kit for Blazers that I am aware of. If you do a lowering shackle you will have to modify your fuel filler tube for clearance, but it will give you +/- 2" that you are looking for.

But what I was wondering how much lower will it sit by removing all but 2 leaf springs or will it not go lower, but just be bouncy ?

Yes, it will drop a lot more. It really depends on the condition of the spring, but you will probably be on your stops until you get the bags on.

mine went down 4 inches in the rear. i took the 1/2 block out and flat overload out and the second and 4th springs out. so now i only have the main leaf and the 3rd leaf. it put me on the bumpstops. i removed the bumpstops and i dont hit the brackets. i guess if i put the 2 inch shackles on, i'll end up having the equivalent of a flip kit
